WASHINGTON — National security adviser Robert C. McFarlane said today that he detects "a few signs that might ultimately prove to be promising," despite the overall failure to make progress during the second round of the U.S.-Soviet arms talks in Geneva.
"In this round, the Soviets were marginally less polemical than in the first round and in some areas they have begun to respond to our efforts" to negotiate on particular issues, President Reagan's chief foreign policy adviser told reporters at a White House briefing.
